In 42 B.C. Cicero said "A nation can survive its
fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.
An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries
his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate
freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the
very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor,
he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their
face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep
in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly
and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects
the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less
to be feared."

The only thing Cicero didn't say relating to similarities
between ancient and modern politics is "And the population votes for
the traitors, enabling them to continue the treason."

Unfortunately, the deliberate dumbing down and
creation of moral chaos in America has created a shortage of 21st Century
Ciceros who could warn the American people regarding the present merger
of the United States with Russia (former Soviet Union). " This betrayal
has been carried out by our elected and unelected officials, including
"phony conservatives in high places". These are the people Cicero refers
to who "rot the soul of our nation, working secretly and unknown in
the night to undermine the pillars of our cities, and infecting our
body politic so that we can no longer resist."

This article is the result of one American's frustration
over the refusal of one United States Senator to respond to a simple
question:

Are two ex-KGB Generals (Chiefs) working as consultants
in the Office of Information Awareness or any other U.S. government
agency in the Bush Administration's so-called "war on terrorism"?

After waiting five months for a response I believe
it is my duty as a citizen of this country to expose my Senator's dereliction
of duty, and I call on the reader to request the same information of
his elected officials and to get back to me with whatever response he
receives.

The evidence of conspiracy is everywhere, but
is never mentioned by the controlled major media or educational institutions.
The inability of the average American to accept "conspiracy theory"
is a result of the media's constant denial, over many, many years of
the important place of conspiracy in world history and its constant
labeling of those intelligent and well-informed Americans who discuss
the role of conspiracy in history as "right wing extremist kooks." Americans
unfortunately believe and are conditioned by what they hear over and
over on the "controlled" establishment news. That is why I personally
make it very clear whenever I speak on radio that "Yes, our nation has
been subjected to a vast conspiracy, and anyone who believes otherwise
has obviously not cracked a non-revisionist history book."

Probably the one key historical event which proves
without a doubt the conspiratorial goal of the "traitors" to merge our
country into an unconstitutional international socialist system (called
for by Lenin and Stalin, with the financial backing of Wall Street,
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and many multinational corporations) was
the meeting Norman Dodd had with Rowan Gaither, the President of the
Ford Foundation during Mr. Dodd's tenure as the Research Director for
the Reece Committee in 1953. This Congressional committee was established
to investigate the activities of the left-leaning foundations.

Mr. Gaither said:

"Mr. Dodd, all of us here at the policy making
level of the foundation have at one time or another served in the OSS
[the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA] or the
European Economic Administration, operating under directives from the
White House. We operate under those same directives...The substance
of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant
making power to so alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably
merged with the Soviet Union."

[President Eisenhower was the first President
to sign agreements in 1958, at the peak of the Cold War, with the Soviet
Union. These agreements related to education, space, the arts, medicine,
etc.]

Stunned, Dodd finally replied "Why don't you tell
the American people what you just told me and you could save the taxpayers
thousands of dollars set aside for this investigation?" Gaither responded,
"Mr. Dodd, we wouldn't think of doing that."

Gaither's response is in itself proof that a conspiracy
existed at that time. Subsequent events prove that it continues to exist
to this day!

In order to accomplish such a merger which is
in effect the international system we see being implemented today: New
World Order/world government through the creation of world economic
regions, e.g. the European Union, certain conspiratorial actions had
to be taken over a long period of time using what I refer to as "The
Four- Prong, (Devil's) Fork":

(1) gradualism called for by the Fabian socialists,
which calls for the making of controversial changes over long periods
of time so people don't recognize what is happening; (2)
semantic deception (use of traditional-sounding labels to sugar-coat
evil intentions and programs); (3) endless supply of taxpayers' hard-earned
money; and (4) use of the Hegelian dialectic (the deliberate creation
of problems: poverty, wars, depression, etc. to induce concern/panic
amongst the population in order to get the public to accept, often at
the polls, the pre-determined freedom-destroying sugar-coated solution
which it would never have accepted had the problem not been deliberately
created.

The average voter, after having been heavily conditioned
over many years by the media and highly- trained "change agents" in
his communities and schools to think and vote a certain way, does so
willingly, and walks away from the polls with a smile on his face, not
knowing he just lost his wallet or even more important, his constitutionally-guaranteed
freedoms.

Cicero's "traitors" in and out of Congress, represented
by both Republican and Democratic Party leadership, have accomplished
their goals without a hitch since the population has been exquisitely
dumbed down and conditioned by the education establishment and
the "controlled" media to accept these socialist goals as "normal."

A few examples, out of many hundreds I could cite,
follow, which prove that the American people have been targeted, conditioned
and victimized (at an accelerated pace since 9/11) in order to bring
this great nation under international control/law, outside of our Constitution
and Bill of Rights, thus destroying our political, economic and moral/social
foundations and freedom.

1. In 1934 "Conclusions and Recommendations for
the Social Studies", funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York
and compiled by the American Historical Association was published. Professor
Harold Laski, a philosopher of British socialism, said of this report:
"At bottom, and stripped of its carefully neutral phrases, the Report
is an educational program for a Socialist America." The Report stated
in part: "The Commission could not limit itself to a survey of
textbooks, curricula, methods of instruction, and schemes of examination,
but was impelled to consider the condition and prospects of the American
people as a part of Western Civilization merging into a world order....Cumulative
evidence supports the conclusion that in the United States as in other
countries, the age of laissez faire in economy and government is closing
and a new age of collectivism is emerging...Organized public education
in the United States, much more than ever before, is now compelled,
if it is to fulfill its social obligations, to adjust its objectives,
its curriculum, its methods of instruction, and its administrative procedures
to the requirements of the emerging integrated order....If the school
is to justify its maintenance and assume its responsibilities, it must
recognize the new order and proceed to equip the rising generation to
cooperate effectively in the increasingly interdependent society and
to live rationally and well within its limitations and possibilities."

2. On September 26, 1961, President John F. Kennedy
signed the Arms Control and Disarmament Act with the Soviet Union, referred
to as Public Law 87-297 and State Department Publication 7277 "Freedom
From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament
in a Peaceful World" which states in part:

"The manufacture of armaments (including personal
firearms, ed) would be prohibited except for those of agreed types and
quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to
maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted
to peaceful purposes."

"The disbanding of all national armed forces and
the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other
than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions
to a United Nations Peace Force." (The U.S. presence in Iraq and elsewhere
has nothing to do with national security interests. It is very clearly
part of the Act referred to above.) The creation of the Department of
Homeland Security, an Agency, is called for in State Department Publication
7277, page 3 when it sets forth objectives which carry out 7277's objectives.
The Program also provides for an internal order system (a military government)
within the emasculated nation while global control systems are instituted
over its "homeland". During this transition period the nation is taken
from a position of sovereignty into full blown global government communitarian
management."

You may ask how such an Act managed to pass and
remain the law of the land when we have members of Congress who have
taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States of America?
Most shocking of all, in this regard, is the record for all to see of
those so-called conservative Republicans who on October 12, 1989, voted
in favor of Public Law 101-216, a vote to support P.L. 87-297 (above
1961 Act). This is a clear-cut violation of their oath of office. Elimination
of the nation's common defense destroys the sovereignty of the nation
and obsoletes its Constitution! Those who voted for the 1989 version
of P.L. 87-297 voted to continue financing the giving away of our armed
forces to the United Nations. There were 400 yes votes, 11 nay votes
and 21 not voting. Please contact Bernadine Smith, Second Amendment
Committee at 559-584-5209 or 582-8534 to obtain her informative packet
on this subject and to find out if your Congressman voted yes to this
give away of our sovereignty. You may be surprised.

3. Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev signed education
agreements in 1985 at the same time the Carnegie Corporation of New
York signed even more extensive agreements with the Soviet Academy of
Science. These agreements accelerated the merger of the two education
systems, changing our education system from one focused on academics
and individual upward mobility to one focused on quotas for certain
jobs requiring work force training (performance/outcomes- based) for
a planned international socialist economy. This failed socialist economic
system which calls for communist "free trade" as well, is being implemented
right now, under our very noses. This failed system is of benefit to
a very small percent of the world's population known as "the elite"
which benefits from socialist subsidies and the elimination of competition.
What we are looking at in the United States today is the redistribution
of wealth as well as the redistribution of brains, and nobody, not even
a rocket scientist, seems to understand what is going on.

4. The Republican Party invited former Soviet
President Gorbachev to be the keynote speaker at a dinner to raise money
for Republican candidates.

5. Our government turned over the nation's number
one military installation, The Presidio, in San Francisco, California
to former Soviet President Gorbachev for his New Age environmental/ecological
activities.

6. The New American, June 17, 2002, carried a
news item entitled "Bush's Tribute to the New European 'Soviet" which
reads:

"During a visit to London in March 23, 2000, former
Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev, referred to the emerging European
Union (EU) as 'the new European Soviet.' During his address to the German
Bundestag last month, President Bush described the EU as a 'house of
freedom--its doors open to all of Europe's people, its windows looking
out to global challenges beyond.' Mr. Bush discussed at length the EU's
role in the accelerating convergence of the United States and the former
Soviet Union. 'Another mission we share is to encourage the Russian
people to find their future in Europe, and with America,' continued
the president. 'A new Russian-American partnership is being forged...A
Russian colonel now works on the staff of U.S. Army General Tommy Franks,
commander of the war in Afghanistan.' Insisting that 'America and Europe
must throw off old suspicions and realize our common interests with
Russia,' the President proudly noted that following his summit in Moscow,
he and heads of state from other NATO countries would travel to Rome
to 'meet as equal partners with President Putin at the creation of the
NATO-Russia council. The council gives us an opportunity to build common
security against common threats.'"

7. The New American, in the same June 17, 2002
issue carried a second news item entitled "Disarmament Love Fest in
Moscow" which read:

"Proclaiming a desire 'to establish a genuine
partnership based on the principles of mutual security, cooperation,
trust, openness, and predictability, President George Bush and Vladimir
Putin of Russia, on May 24th, signed what the Associated Press called
'the biggest arms-reduction treaty in history.' According to President
Bush, the treaty-signing ceremony 'ended a long chapter of confrontation
and opened up an entirely new relationship between our countries.'

"Putin, the ex-KGB boss, concurred. 'Together,
we will counteract global threats and challenges,' Putin said. 'We're
going to form a stable world order in the interests of our peoples and
our countries.' Dubbed the Treaty of Moscow, the new pact commits Russia
and the U.S. to reduce their strategic nuclear arsenals to 2,200 warheads
each by December 31, 2002. In addition to the treaty, Bush and Putin
signed an eight-page agreement pledging U.S.-Russian cooperation on
economic matters, the Middle East peace process, nuclear proliferation
and missile defense, and the war against terrorism.'"

(Ed note: The aforementioned quote is interesting
in light of the following information reported by the EUobserver.com,4/10/03
(ten months after the Bush/Putin Love Fest) entitled "NATO Prompts Russian
Nuclear Rethink" by Richard Carter. This quote describes the diabolical
dialectic in action: "A strategy document published yesterday by the
Russian defense department said that the former Superpower would be
forced to reconsider its military restructuring if NATO continues to
exist as a military alliance with an offensive military doctrine'. This
will also affect Russia's nuclear strategy. In a statement reminiscent
of the Cold War, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that a new
generation of nuclear weapons - with multiple warheads and long-range
capabilities - would replace Russia's old stock. However, Mr. Putin
gave no timeframe for the deployment of these missiles. According to
the FTD, Mr. Putin said, 'These are...terrible missiles, of which we
have dozens with several hundred warheads. These weapons are even now
ready for use.'")

The average American when confronted with world
news that has Putin and Bush embracing one another one year and quarreling/threatening
to target one another with missiles the next year, sinks into a state
of "cognitive dissonance" whereby he is unable to make sense of anything
or to carry on an intelligent conversation about the subject at hand,
reacting to one's comment with nothing more than a "glazed expression."
This back and forth "planned" agenda is, of course, a brilliant psychological
strategy, part of the dialectic, and highly effective in keeping the
"sheeple" in line.

When, as a result, none of the conditioned "sheeple"
utter a peep over such pre and post-9/11 actions, the "traitors" know
that it's "safe" to take actions such as naming Henry Kissinger, a Soviet
agent, to lead an investigation of 9/11... if ever there was a fox overseeing
the hen house! (Please refer to Iserbyt article, "Kissinger
Out of the Closet" for documentation regarding Kissinger being a
Soviet agent.) Only after a few unconditioned persons had the courage
to register complaints over this outrageous appointment, did Kissinger
decline the position citing possible conflicts of interest.

But the "merger agenda" would continue at an even
faster pace.

Plans have been in the works since 1997 to bring
on board ex-KGB agents to work at the Center for Counterintelligence
and Security Studies, http://www.cicentre.com a consulting service in
Alexandria, Virginia. The New York Times, in an article dated 8/24/03
entitled "Former Top Russian Spy Pledges Allegiance" stated that the
above Center "provides expertise and advice in counterintelligence,
counterterrorism and security for the government (repeat government,
ed) and companies."

The hiring of these ex-KGB agents appears to be
a result of FBI/KGB collaboration. The New American, July 30, 2001 discussed
such collaboration in a news item entitled "Community Policing, East
and West." It said:

"Among Louis Freeh's supposedly commendable achievements
as FBI director, according to Robert S. Bennett, (brother of William
Bennett, former Secretary of Education, ed) was the realization of his
vision of a 'global FBI.' It was in pursuit of that vision that Freeh
traveled to Moscow in 1994, and--on the fourth of July--signed a agreement
creating a framework for FBI/KGB collaboration. 'We can honestly say
that our two nations have more in common than ever before,' declared
Freeh at the ceremony, which took place after a tour of the KGB's Lubyanka
Square headquarters. 'We are united in purpose and in spirit.'"

This was not the first collaboration in police
work as a result of agreements signed with the Soviet Union. The New
York Times in an article dated 6/19/91 entitled "Week in the Subway
as Cultural Exchange" pointed out some of the interesting activities
resulting from the exchanges signed between President Reagan and Gorbachev.
An excerpt follows:

"A hapless fare-beater was arrested today in the
Chambers Street subway station, and he was suddenly surrounded by six
Moscow police officers. This was not a scene out of a Cold War nightmare.
The Soviets were not taking over the United States. This was a cultural
exchange."

According to the above-mentioned New York Times
article entitled "Former Top Russian Spy Pledges New Allegiance", 8/24/03,
Oleg Kalugin, a retired KGB general and son of a member of Stalin's
secret police, whom a former CIA chief called 'the smoothest guy I've
seen in years' and who is now a new United States citizen, is one of
those retired KGB generals working as a consultant at the Centre for
Counterintelligence and Security Studies.

The New York Times article also says, and this
is interesting in light of the U.S.-Soviet education exchange agreements
which have been going on since President Eisenhower signed the first
one in 1958, "Kalugin's relationship with America began in the late
1950's, when Communist officials noticed his skill with languages. He
was a K.G.B. trainee when he was sent to Columbia University as an exchange
student. The New York Times goes on to reveal the following: "He was
one of the generals of the cold war, a K.G.B. leader who did his best
to undermine Western capitalism by recruiting Americans to work for
Moscow. His greatest recruiting coup was probably John A. Walker, Jr.,
a Navy warrant officer who offered his services while Mr. Kalugin was
stationed in Washington in 1966. Mr. Kalugin said in a 1991 interview
that Mr. Walker was paid more than $1 million before the FBI caught
him in 1985...In recruiting John Walker, Mr Kalugin had a chance to
tip the cold war balance." (And we "sheeple" trust this new United States
citizen to promote what is in our nation's best interest?)

It was Kalugin, a frequent TV commentator and
regular guest on Fox News, who stirred up a hornet's nest last spring
by spilling the beans (to an unnamed intelligence agent) on a spy cruise
(go to http://www.cicentre.com
and click on SpyTrek) regarding his associates, ex-K.G.B. Chiefs Primakov
(also former President of Russia and close associate/advisor to Saddam
Hussein who visited with Saddam in February of this year, prior to the
war in Iraq) and General Alexander Karpov working for recently retired
Admiral Poindexter's Office of Information Awareness which is attached
to the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), an agency of
the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for the development of new
technology by the military.

This information is covered in detail in an article
in the April 2003 issue of Soviet Analyst (www.sovietanalyst.com)
entitled "Architect of Soviet Middle East Terror to 'Advise' Washington"...Convergence
Acquires New Meaning" by Christopher Story, a highly respected researcher
and author with offices in London and New York City. The story was also
covered in the May 15, 2003 issue of The Howard Phillips Issues and
Strategy Bulletin in an entry entitled "GWB Names Kremlin Spymaster
Primakov as Consultant to U.S. Homeland Security Team". Please see Iserbyt's
two articles on this subject at www.NewsWithViews.com:
"Former
KGB Heads to Help Spy on Americans" 4/24/03 and "Former
USSR/Russian Premier to Work for Homeland Security" 4/22/03, both
of which included information taken from an article in American Free
Press entitled "Get Ready for the Sovietization of America", 4/21/03
by Al Martin, www.almartinraw.com, a former intelligence agent. Al Martin's
information can also be traced to the same important source, Oleg Kalugin.

Only when I was challenged by a NewsWithViews
reader to provide more complete documentation for my articles did I
go to my Senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe, a liberal Republican, whose
ties to the international establishment are very close. My multiple
efforts, over a period of five months, to obtain a simple "yes" or "no"
answer from Senator Snowe as to whether the Bush Administration had
in fact hired these two-ex K.G.B. Chiefs to consult with U.S. officials
on the design for an "internal passport" (carte identite) for Americans,
were unsuccessful. I have emailed her seven times, called her eight
times, and written her (certified mail) once including pertinent articles
and documents.

I am therefore unable to provide the documentation
requested of me. However, I, personally, am assuming that the Kalugin
information re Primakov and Karpov is correct since what would Senator
Snowe have to lose by telling me the information was not true, if indeed
it was not true? She evidently hopes I will go away and that this story
will fade into oblivion since the Congress has so-called defunded DARPA's
Office of Information Awareness due to concerns on Capitol Hill regarding
the constitutionality of sections in The Patriot Act and privacy-invading
activities being developed at DARPA's Office of Information Awareness.
Don't hold your breath for the cessation of the unconstitutional projects
presently under way to track every movement of every single American.
The projects have simply been shifted to another unnamed office with
an alphabet soup title.

Senator Snowe's refusal to answer a constituent
is outrageous. Comments from her staff may sound familiar to the reader:
"She is out of town; she is very busy; it takes two months for her to
receive letters due to the Anthrax scare...you should perhaps email
her", which I had done eight times! When trying to reach her staff member
who deals with the issue of terrorism, Homeland Security, etc. I was
told each time I called that he was in a meeting. When I left a message
on voice mail three times and asked to be called back I never received
a return call. In order to have additional proof of what I had turned
over to her office I taped my last phone message which includes most
of the information in this article.

I have finally given up calling Senator Snowe's
office.

Is this what representative government is all
about? All questions from constituents are important. However, it seems
that questions related to the hiring of very, very important ex-KGB
Chiefs to consult on matters of internal and national security are irrelevant
to those walking the marble halls of Congress, those who "are undermining
the pillars of the city" according to Cicero in 42 B.C.

(What if General Eisenhower after World War II
had hired Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler to advise the U.S. Government
on a matter as sensitive as internal passports (identity cards) to control
freedom of travel within the United States? Think about that one!!!!!!)

What is wrong in our nation? Is there anything
our government might do which might upset the population enough that
our elected officials would feel the heat and the need to respond? (How
pathetic that the only time Congress has reacted almost overnight to
its constituents' complaints was recently when it passed the law to
restrict those pesty telemarketing calls we all receive at dinner time.
How pathetic that Americans get more upset over those dinnertime calls
made by private companies than they do over ex-KGB agents designing
internal passports [identity cards] for our government which will restrict
their freedom of movement, travel plans, and all sorts of other activities.)

As it presently stands, our elected officials,
most of whom support passage of unconstitutional laws and actions, including
the Patriot Act, etc. are the equivalent of what Cicero described so
well. If they are not traitors, what exactly are they?

[A funny side to this story: About twenty years
ago when Senator Snowe was a member of the House of Representatives
her office was bugged by the K.G.B.! She had to move out for a week
or so to let the security people debug it. I mentioned this to her in
an email in an unsuccessful attempt to get her to react due to her personal
encounter with our new KGB friends.]

Of all the books, documents, videos, audiocassettes,
etc. available to alert Americans to the serious situation facing this
nation today, there is none more powerful than the interview that Edward
Griffin, www.realityzone.com
gave the great patriot, Norman Dodd, in the early eighties, a few years
before he passed away. It's available on audio and video. To order,
call: 1-800-595-6596
